Overview

Rotation is the trick this Paramecia hands its holder, letting body parts or worn clothing spin like propellers. Buffalo of the Donquixote Pirates is the figure shown wielding it in the story.

The upshot is a body that serves at once as a means of flight and as a generator of powerful wind.

Mechanics

Spinning any limb or garment into a high-speed propeller lets the wielder take to the air for sustained long-range flight, throw both objects and people, and stir up violent windstorms. The rotation carries force enough to move the user across broad reaches of sky and to launch others with real momentum.

A sufficiently strong opponent can seize the whirling part to halt it, and even wrench the limb to inflict damage, which Kyros did by stopping Buffalo's spinning head before snapping his neck. Aside from that, the ordinary Devil Fruit weaknesses hold. Buffalo ate the fruit no later than age seventeen, seen wielding its rotation over Minion Island above the Birdcage.

Notable Users

Buffalo drilled the ability until his entire body worked as transportation, steering freely while airborne and rolling his legs vertically like skates on the ground. He frequently pairs with Baby 5, whose Buki Buki no Mi fuels their joint assaults.

Toppu: Matasaburo whips up a gust strong enough to disperse Shinokuni, while Guru Guru Toshaho flings a missile-transformed Baby 5 at an enemy, the spin adding momentum that makes the attack hard to dodge.
